      That’s nice, but I’m afraid no amount of exams is going to filter bad drivers through the cracks. If you don’t like something, you’ll never be good at it.

      In theory it’s good idea. Because how many times you read or hear about a person passing on their 10th or whichever attempt. That’s not bad luck – it’s systematic errors and maybe just maybe they should not be driving

      How the fuck this is making it any more difficult?
      If you keep repeating the exam so mamy times, you clearly have issues with driving. If you were unfairly failed during the exam, the whole thing is recorded and you have appeal based on that.

      Terrible clickbait

      Whenever I see someone overtaking like a maniac on a country road here in CZ, it’s a Polish license plate. Would be great if you people started with driving lessons in general instead of buying the license somewhere under the table.

      Maybe, just maybe, the ministry might consider buying cars with automatic, so everyone isn’t forced to take exam on manual and then never use it?
      It’s frankly cheaper to fail exam 2 times on manual then to get examination car with automatic (Krakow)
      Also 2 month mandatory wait times between attempts aren’t helping people to be less stressed.

      People in Poland loose their driving licenses due to bad driving and carry on regardless, even if banned from driving all together. What is this silly idea trying to achieve?

      The exam is not easy, but not that difficult either. I personally took the exam in Krakow, and the main blocker for me was the fact that if I fail I need to wait for a month to try again. Also, in order to retain my driving skills, I need to take extra paid lessons for those 4 weeks until I try again. That’s one of the reasons I failed a few times – I was so scared that if I fail I’ll need to waste another month, that I kept failing.

      The first time I said “screw it I don’t give a shit” I passed with an excellent score.

      So they should work on expanding the exam centers and offer more empty spots to take the exam – to allow more people to take the exam and not to wait 1 month if you fail.

      meanwhile people that lost the driving license due to breaking the law keep driving without any punishment even when caught multiple times

      fix the real problem first dumbass politicians

      Good change. They should also make it that after 9 tires, so after a course and 2 returns, you just get banned from getting a license for a few years.

      Go for this for some tickets there should be mandatory exam to lose them. 

      And redoing exam for elderly is also good idea.

      Internal exam means that “driving schools” will fail you to force you to pay for more hours with their “instructor”. Was here, I hoped no one will have this stupid idea again.

      And how about “experienced drivers having license for long time which drive fast but safe”?

      1. WORD examiners love to fail somebody for even the slightest mistake, sometimes fabricating the situations themselves (Somebody lets you go first at an intersection, even flashing their lights to signal you? Illegal!). Each *repeat customer* is profit to them.
      2. I’ve heard this countless times, but it was true in my case as well – you only ***really*** *learn to drive* AFTER the exam, on your own. Beforehand, you learn how to pass the exam (with a giant L sign on the roof excusing you to other ‘impatient’ drivers).
      3. Three strikes limit is *way too low*, I’ve passed at the 4th attempt myself, and I’m not alone in my friend circle. Five strikes would be where I think it starts to be an acceptable requirement.
      4. This law would primarily give five additional hours of profit for the driving schools, which already charge a hefty rate (from what my friend told me, I think it’s up to 5000 zł now). Other countries have provisional license system, where you’re learning essentially on your own (and it *somehow* produces better drivers?!), and in my opinion it would eliminate the second point I brought up.
